This Girl Can Blog!



This is just a quick one to say Hi! I’m still here. I haven’t posted anything for quite a while as university restarted and I have been up to my eyeballs in reading and start of the year fun and games. I have been to a few ‘Give it a Go’ sessions, these are sessions run by different societies here at the University of Leeds that allow you to go along and try something new. I will be writing about my experiences trying outdoor climbing and ballroom dancing in the near future, keep your eyes peeled.

One of the reasons why I haven’t posted anything is because I have been sorting out something very exciting... I am now officially a Leeds ambassador for the This Girl Can campaign. You might have heard of This Girl Can? It's a campaign run by Sport England, designed to empower women and girls of all ages to get active in whatever way they want, with no fear of judgement and empower them to get out there and take part in sports activities with other women. My role is to be a writer and blogger for the Leeds branch of the campaign, sharing my experiences of This Girl Can events, classes, activities, races, you name it, I am likely to write about it. 

I was so excited to be offered this opportunity as the campaign’s message is pretty much exactly the same as I try to get across in my blog! Most of the posts that I make now will be in relation to This Girl Can and will be available to see on the Leeds Girls Can website (about to be launched) and of course, here on my own site. I am excited to share this exciting new phase in my active life with you all!
Here is a link to the national  This Girl Can website, the Leeds Girls Can website will be launched soon...

Despite the snow we enjoyed a successful International Women’s Day in Leeds! Our main event was the Leeds Girls Can Clubbercise session which took place in the middle of the Trinity Centre (yes that’s right, surrounded by shoppers and commuters) in the evening. Leeds Girls Can ran two hours of Clubbercise for anybody who wanted to take part. It was fantastic to see women and men joining in with the International Women’s Day celebrations. We had all ages amongst our ranks, the youngest and arguably the cutest being Sienna, age 4. She was definitely the best out of us all, she didn’t want to stop. Hopefully she will remember the event as she gets older, going through life knowing that girls can do anything. That is why we exist, to show people that they can achieve anything, even when it's out of their comfort zone.  You may think that we looked like a bunch of crazy people dancing in the middle of a shopping centre but there was a very important purpose for it. We like to show that ...
